Something New In the Railroad Line.

NeU I OfE LeLeT.
Thomas Nichols, who was at one time private
secretary to President Garfield, is just now trying
to float company for the construction of bicy-
Gle railroad. This innovation consists of hang
ing structure of iron piping, supporting dependent
guide rails, upon which Mr.. Nichols claims to be
able to run single track passenger train at the
rate of 220 miles per hour. The cars are to be
forty six inches wide, and mounted upon tricycle.
spindle wheels. The single track is to be sus-
pended above existing railroad tracks and the
passenger service, which is to be sort OF limited
affair. after the manner of our present fast train
service is to make the journey from San Francisco
to Philadelphia or New York in one day, where it
now requires week. This former Presidential
secretary already sees the passenger business OF
the country revolutionized by his invention.

Rapid Travel Across the Continent.
Buffalo Erpres

DtUtF 11'PTe oo'
The new Asiatic limited express (queer name
that for line of travel on the Western Continent
and yet appropriate enough, too) will traverse
the $500 miles between New York and San Fran
cisco in about one hundred hours. If the speed
is increased to fifty miles an hour the time will be
three days. If this is to be, railroad experts say
the roads will have to be better ballasted than they
now are west of the Missouri river. And some
thing else will have to be done too. People
travelling across the continent and the trainmen
who conduct them will have to be furnished with
patent set of nerves. The ordinary kind will
break down when brought to the strain OF over
2, 600 miles at such rate of speed as it is pro-
posed, notwithstanding all the Injuries of sleeping
and dining which the Asiatic limited purposes to
provide.

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent Mr..
Chas. p Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
new number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monial as to the general excellence of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value.
These paints-al colors, which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use, which is great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of applying them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
Knight the sole agent in Baltimore, handles inn
mense quantities of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint, and where properly ap-
piled it has never failed to give entire satisfac-
ton. The residence of II. G. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
| themselves that everything we have said about
| the Enamel Paint is facts. we have no hesita-
| ton in recommending it.

General Sherman and Mrs. Cleveland.


Mrs. Cleveland's latest conquest is no less en-
inent person than the bluff but gallant hero of the
March to the Sea. During his recent visit to the
capital he passed several pleasant hours at the
White House, and at the risk of having him os-
tracsed by Republican friends, it is here recorded
that be came away much pleased with the Presi-
dent also. But the best of his time was passed in
lively banter with Mrs. Cleveland. 81 found her,"
he tells his friends at home, perfectly quiet and
self possessed, and absolutely without afectation,
accepting the dignity of her position with queen
ly graciousness. 1 thought her very like the
Princess of Wales, and told her SO. She was
very much pleased. Mr.. Bancroft, who is very
fond of her, remarked to me that it seems impos-
sible for any bachelor or widower President to be
elected second term, and we both decided we'd
hate to have this pretty creature turned out" The
next day, after passing another hour and half
with her, he was still able to tell her at parting
that he had seen great many of the ladies of the
White House and not one of them was more his
idea of what an American Presidents wife should
be than she to whom his words were addressed.
As may be imagined the gallant General was given
o standing invitation to call.

From the Baltimore "American."
Owing to the want of space, produced by the
great pressure upon our colurans in reporting
the proceedings of the different committees rel
alive to the reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, recently held in Baltimore we
have been unable to call the attention Of our
readers and the public generally to the new
spring dress of THE AMERICAN building, except
to announce we had given the contract to Mr.. q.
p. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street new
number). The paint used on the building is the
liquid enamel paint, made by the New Jersey
Enamel Paint Company, which has been sold IN
this market for fourteen years. and endorsed by
our late Mr. Charles G. Fulton and by many rep
resentative men of our city, such as Mr.. John D.
Gilman. president of Second National Bank; Mr..
Jacob Hartman, president of the Metropolitan
Savings Bank and Washington Fire Insurance
Company: Thomas j. Myer, of Thomas j.. Myer
& Co.; J. ID. Mallory, of Reuter- y Mallory; Arm
strong, Gator q Co. and many others. The selec-
ton and combination of colors were painted on
a drawing of the building and submitted to Gen.
Agnus for his approval in advance OF the work,
and we are most happy to say they have come up
to our expectations, and we cordially invite the
public to inspect the same. For seashore work,
which is SO very severe on paint, 1t has some
splendid endorsements, and we suggest, for the
benefit of our patrons, to write Mr.. Knight Tor
sample cards and testimonials.

We must say few words to you about our Chill

long study of every feature connected with the
production of juvenile wearing apparel. The
great care we take in the manufacture of chill

the wonderful variety of goods we keep in stock,
all combine to rank us First in this department
as we are leaders in every other branch of our
business We will not bore you with long
enumeration of goods and prices, but we will and
do extend cordial invitation to every parent to
visit this model department whenever you come
to the city. Our Boys and Children's Hat De-

reported, but. on the contrary, the most
pronounced Yankee He spent all his
early life on a ranch in Kansas. Not
only is he an American, but he is the

trip he is now making was undertaken
about year ago, when, after havin g
wheeled across the continent, he sailed
for Liverpool and started for the East.
AT reunion of '49ers in San Francis

neer days John Little built bridge

that three men came into Mr.. Little's

Will the Grand Army Apologize

4 number of we'll known members of the
grand army of the republic objected TO the in
trigue by which 1t was attempted to bring
President Cleveland to ST. Louis during the
q. A. Ii. national encampment and convert
that annual convention of a grand military
civic society into personal boom for the
coming presidential campaign. Thereat the
president flies into print with a decination
to be present, and attempts to discredit MEM
bers of the above order by an imputation
that his life was in danger. If Cleveland
had really supposed that il was not safe to
go to st. Louis he might have gotten over
the difficulty as he did the matter of expos
ing himself in the army, by sending a sub
stitute. But the grand army extended no
invitation to Cleveland The nature and the
circumstances of the order inhibit il from
making civilians its guests. 1t neither gave
nor recalled an invitation to Cleveland to
visit st. Louis, and has nothing to do as an
order with the attitude of the individuals
who objected to having the national encamp-
ment used as personal scheme in the inter
est of the Cleveland boom.
In view of these facts it is astounding that
the servile mugwump press, as represented
by the New York Times, should be found
calling on the grand army to apologize.
" Will the grand army of the republic, as an
organization asks that paper, shave the
grace to apologize to the president and peo-
pie of the United States for the insult it has
put upon both?" Apologize For what?
For what it has never done. Apologize for
its loyalty, and for putting down the rebel
lion, is the answer that seems TO come from
bold spirit latterly outcropping. Apologize
probably. for capturing the rebel flags
Apologize for leaving Cleveland with wound
ed feelings.
The grand army is the very citadel of 10y
atty. 1t exists by force of its own deter
mined national feeling, by right of valor and
action, not by the sufferance of what people
think. The Times talks of Z" its gravely com
promised reputation There is no other
body of men living SO fully entitled to hold
Its opinions unchallenged, and to utter them
as its members see fit. The personal politi-
cal interests which undertake to cry them
down would better look out.
The outward Difference of Cleveland to the
loyal union soldiers but thinly wells the spirit
which animates him. For the father of Sc
cession he had words of praise, and com
mended his teachings to the country. The
flags of the extinct government of treason
were the object of his tender sentiment: his
recall of the order had no sense of the viola
ton of the prophecies of patriotism, but only
for technical transgression of law. But
misfortune Detailing a veteran in the hour of
national danger brought forth CeveIand's
unfeeling ndicule and he attempts to pub
icly associate the order of The union veterans
with alleged proposals of assassination.

many such tokens as Cleveland's eulogy of
Calhoun, his fawning attempt TO ingratiate
himself at the south by the surrender of the
rebel flags, and the omissions and positive
expressions towards the union soldier in his
prepared papers, TO show the circle and CEN
ter of his heart OH the main question. Peo-
pie of the north may well feel keenly on this
point, when southern clergyman of a lead
ing city congregation instantly loses caste
for an expression of loyalty es to a matter of
the late war, and receives only one apology,
from distant city. on the score of being in
the land of free speech. The loyal states of
the late war are not yet on their knees for
their part in that transaction. If the New
York Times must know, the grand army will

There's nothing on earth so mysteriously
funny as q newspaper advertisement. The
prime, first last and all the time object of an adj
vertisement is to draw custom. 1t is not,
was not. and never will be designed for any
other human purpose. So the merchant
waits till the busy season, and his store is
SO full of customers that he can't get his hat
off, and then he rushes to the newspapers
and puts III his advertisement. When the
dull season gets along and there is no trade
and he wants TO sell goods so bad he can't
pay his rent, he takes out his advertisement
that Is, some dealers do; but occasionally a
level-headed merchant puts in a bigger one and
scoops the business, while his neighbors are
mortgaged to pay their gas bills. There are
times when you couldn't stop people from
buying everything in the store if you planted
cannon behind the door, and that's the
time the advertisement is sent on its holy
mission. 1t makes light work for the adver-
tisement, for chalk sign on the sidewalk
could do all that was needed and have half
holiday six days in the week: but who wants
to favor an advertisement? They are built
to do hard work, and should be sent out in
the dull days, when customers have to be
knocked down with hard facts and kicked
insensible with bankrupt reductions and
prices before they will spend cent. That's
the aim and end of an advertisement, and if
you ever open a store, don't try to get them
to come when they are already sticking out
of the windows, but give them your adver-
tisement right between the eyes in the dull
season and you will wax rich and own fast
horse, and perhaps be able to smoke good
cigar once or twice week. Write this down
where you will fall over it every day. The
time to draw business is when you want bus
mess and not when you have more business
than you can attend to already.-Kdlama9oo
